his experience about as follows:
Last Thursday morning, while at

side and took rs IS far az the Cape.
when We set sail and headed for the
south vest, with o strong breeze from
the southeast. Early on Saturday
morninQ, while about fifty miles from
the coast, the wind changed 70 the
southwest and blew perfect hurricane.
At noon the waves weAe running noun
tain high. with an accompanying heavy
mist, and We were trying 10 return TO
the Straits. About o'clock that after
n0oH the storm was ct its hight. We
we're completely enveloped In one solid
mass Of sea foam, when the dreaded
roar OF breakers was heard, and the
lookout reported that the breakers were
within 800 yards Of the vessel and
in her eourse.
"SpEinging forward, gFasped the
wheel and altered the course TO the
north and We barely, by few yards,
passed the breakers. Then the most
terrible gale struck rs that ] ever expert
enced during my services IS master for
IL years. The masts bent like reeds;
the lower top-sail and fore-sail were the
fret TO 90. Then two OF the crew barely
saved themselves from being washed
overheard. For few moments the wind
moderated, then il returned with renew
ed force taking every sail that was set,
leaving the masts bare. For an hour or
tive We we're speeding along under bare
coles before the Wind moderated SUN.

when the tug Tyee towed rs into the
harbor on sunday night at IL o'clock.
The vessel is leaking so much that IL
